The Boyfriend Sessions
Even a relationship junkie knows not to date her best friend’s brother . . . I’ll admit, fleeing the country after a Frenchman’s romantic proposal wasn’t one of my finest moments. Now that I’m back in Sydney, my girlfriends have announced that I’m a relationship junkie with commitment issues and want me to swear off men for six months. Ouch. Their extreme rehabilitation plan involves a weekly girls night so they can pick apart my colorful relationship history. And it gets worse—my best friend Maddy is including her older brother for a male opinion. I never noticed how gorgeous Max is before. When we were growing up, he was always kind of shy and nerdy, but now he seems to have no trouble speaking his mind. And did I mention he’s sweet, too? I don’t know what my girlfriends are so worried about, though. I can totally survive six months without a guy. And it’s not like I’d be tempted by Max—Maddy would kill me. Except I hadn’t counted on him being quite so irresistible. Or my past relationship history coming back to torment me. Please send help . . .
Wish List
Could the wrong man on paper be the right man in real life? I know it’s clichéd, but I’m a financial planner and I like lists. Except my girlfriends think that having a checklist for my ideal man is going a step too far. It doesn’t matter that I’m the only one of us who is still unattached. Or that I’ve always dreamed of starting a family and settling down. I’m not going to lower my standards. I certainly wouldn’t fall for a guy like Dave, who is opposite to me in every way. He’s got bad boy written all over him, and his eyes are completely the wrong color. In fact, he doesn’t tick any of my boxes. I can still admire him, though. And maybe flirt a little—but not too much. I need to keep things professional now he’s a client. But the thing is, I’ve never met anyone like Dave before and I’m starting to wonder about the reasons behind my list. Reasons I’ve tried to leave in the past but are coming back to haunt me. Am I brave enough to rewrite my list? Or worse—get rid of it completely?
